Last week, Horsham Now highlighted the business-focused connections that helped Horsham Township to earn the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Montgomery County’s 2024 President’s Award. This week, it is “Business Facilities: The Source for Site Selectors” that raved about its attractiveness to business.
In a piece entitled “Pennsylvania Incentives Help Attract Business,” author Kyle Peschler featured Horsham Township, calling the municipality a “thriving community.”
“Horsham Township, Pennsylvania is a hometown favorite for business. The township is located 16 miles from center city Philadelphia and is easily accessed off the Pennsylvania Turnpike, or Routes 309 or 611,” wrote Peschler. “The parks in Horsham define this community, as the township has cultivated both business parks and open spaces, trails and parks, to create an amazing sense of place and community. The township is home to five major business parks with more than seven million square feet of commercial office, flex space and diagnostic, laboratory and CGMP manufacturing space. The township is situated in close proximity to several incubator and innovation zones in the region, and it is well-positioned for CGMP BioPharma manufacturing.”
Peschler highlighted the investments, including more than $35 million in infrastructure improvements, that the community has made to attract more bustling business to the town. He said that the “business-friendly” access points and “ample access to highly educated workforce” are just some of the reasons businesses will enjoy calling Horsham home.
The business site’s article also noted that the transition of the Naval Air Station – Joint Reserve Base (NAS-JRB) Willow Grove, which makes up eight percent of the township’s land with 862 acres, the township “sees a day in the not-too-distant future” when even more opportunity may exist for further economic development.
